Kanasuwa! good!

You know, I think it would actually be pretty easy to make a case that the witch is an ideal spouse for a crown princess. The ability to produce an heir is a primary concern for royal marriages, but surely a decent witch could enable same-sex reproduction, so that's no issue. Furthermore, if magical ability is at all heritable in this setting, adding a magic user to the bloodline could definitely be a big advantage. I'm aware that I'm overthinking a random fluffy story but it's a fun thought exercise.

Wow way to absolutely terrify Aki with that note. Did the queen mean to do that or dies she not realize how threatening that sounds? I'm 85% sure she's not going to try to separate them so maybe this was something of a test? If this scares her off, then she wasn't committed or brave enough for the queen to consider her worthy of Momo, but if she's able to face the queen under these circumstances the relationship is worth preserving.

still not sure why a sex bot would be illegal tbh

... sure, why not

uh oh. with the mysterious hooded figure (who is possibly a future elsa?) running out of power, the VS might be back soon. I doubt it will react well to recent developments. best case scenario this os so far outside the system's expected parameters that ot will just break or something, but i doubt they'll be that lucky

i like that, for once, overhearing a conversation actually helped build their relationship rather than having some out of context snippet drive a wedge between them

true story i once stopped going to a smoothie place because it weirded me out that the person at the counter started recognizing me.

i mean i know that's inevitable but, like, i have a pattern i use when i order please don't go off-script i can't handle that. just don't acknowledge the familiarity it's fine.

(apparently customer service people are encouraged to track repeat customers and call them out like that???? i guess it's meant to be welcoming or something but i find it seriously off-putting)

sasaki reads as autistic to me (the infodumping and her 'toggle' thing are big reasons)

I suspect the country girl is in the "doesn't everyone think girls are pretty?" phase, but Rurika definitely seems to be aware of her own sexuality already.

I would say she's being unrealistically obstinate, but let's be real, this is only marginally more irrational and petty than is typical for real teenagers

Always feel kinda conflicted with the prostitution tag, specially if treated in a more or less serious way like on this one. But it was ok, sweet and sexy too.
But ine thing, why are they elves? Does it add something to the plot? Why couldn't they be normal humans?

Cause the author wanted to write about elves

I think it's more that the author wanted to draw elves

aya is popular(?)

This one is so... sincere. What a heartwarming ending. I thought that the way the panels were arranged when she put the flower crown on the skull was a super evocative way to show her coming to terms with reality.

wow, this society is pretty fucked, isn't it?

Anyway, Ichigo is apparently me when it come to academics. i just... read the textbook? it's usually all there.

and here we a ship based on.. checks notes the characters loving in the same general area

friendly reminder that the diet industry is a scam, and if you're reasonably active and don't have an actual eating disorder your weight is probably fine.

Human bodies have a wide variety of weights that they default to and trying to force them away from that equilibrium isn't healthy. if you're hungry, you should probably eat.

People who are categorized as 'overweight' by the BMI scale, (BMI is also a BS metric and was never intended to be used for individuals but it's what we have) have a higher rate of heart disease but a lower rate of dying of heart disease.

The real science on this isn't being suppressed, technically, but the media that would convey it to the general public have a financial interest in keeping that public insecure about their weight, so they just don't amplify it. (it's capitalism's fault, as usual) The science is there, but it's buried in scientific journals and mostly in the form of study papers which aren't easily understood by laypeople.

... fifty love interests? the hell kind of VN is this?

anyway, I'm hyped that they finally, finally, managed to open up about their feelings. I was worried a VS window would pop up between them right before they kissed or something.

Speaking of, the the aftereffects of the succubus blood will wear off eventually, right? How is the VS going to adapt to things going so far off its rails?

lmao that movie is like, half a dozen stock plots awkwardly stitched together.

me too tenshi

satori can read minds, she knows the pocky was just an excuse

honestly, rather than making a whole thing about telling their friends, maybe they should just stop going out of their way to hide it and then don't deny it if they ask

also claire taking the lead with rei is very good

last time i checked, sashannarcy was the #1 relationship tag for amphibia on ao3 which is basically unheard of for a poly ship (especially because sashannarcy fics are frequently tagged with sashannne, annarcy, and sasharcy too)

why would a computer in that context even have speakers lmao
